A leash is not necessarily going to protect your dog from a predator. One of my neighbors had a hawk attack his little dog....that was on a leash at that time.
We all love the wildlife, but sometimes it needs to be culled. We have more deer in America than we did a hundred years ago. That's why states like NC have a six deer hunting limit per year. Too many folks get hurt when their cars hit deer in the road.

Animals may have been here before us, but we are at the top of the food chain. I'm not going to move so that a scraggly old coyote can have more room to roam. By the way, we were here before the coyote. They are not indigenous to this area. They were brought in and released. If they leave me and mine alone, then I say live and let live. If they threaten me, then they get put down. I'll watch them travel over the golf course. I don't play golf so I think it is kind of funny if they leave a few land mines.

I think this is a pretty reasonable viewpoint. Right down the middle. Thanks.
